from the whadaya-say? dept.

So, as per usual, I like to occasionally check the pulse on the community to make sure that people for the most part are happy and satisfied with the day-to-day operation of the site. For those of you who are new to the community, first, let me welcome you and explain how these work.

When I open the floor to the community, the intent is to provide a venue to discuss anything related to site operations, content, and anything along those lines. I actively review and comment on these posts, and if one issue pops up multiple times in comments, I generally run follow up articles to try and help address issues the community feels is important before someone decides to take rehash and form a spinoff. Feel free to leave whatever thoughts you want below.

In contrary to my usual posts, I don't have that much to say to this, so to both the community and editorial team's relief, I'll cut this off right here before it becomes Yet Another NCommander Novel.

    The usual solution is to have simple guidelines that cover the worst abuses. Doesn't have to be perfect, only 80% coverage with low false positives.

    Yeah, I just don't trust guidelines when it comes to screwing with someone's speech. They may be good, they may be bad, but they're always going to be interpreted differently from person to person. Which is why I did my best to spell out really, really clearly what is and isn't Spam when that moderation came out. And there are still disagreements and butthurt to be found.

    Mind you, this ain't all up to me; that's just my personal opinion on the matter.

      It's impossible to have perfect moderation, but if you don't try you end up with 4chan. So the real question is, where on the spectrum between 4chan and a moderated political debate do you want be?
